Joy Division / Warsaw - Pictures On My Mind



An exclusive. Courtesy of a blog follower who wishes to remain anonymous, here is Warsaw (or were they Joy Division at the time?) performing previously unheard song, Pictures On My Mind.


It was taken from a tape of early rehearsals by the band probably at TJ Davidsons in Peter St. Manchester during 1977 or 1978.


Edit: Now On Megaupload

Listen


Back in the early days of this blog, I also posted another early demo tape by the band. See here

    Brilliant this has finally become available through teh intrawebs, Blogmeister! I wonder if it's truly the last Joy Division track, though.

    Is there any possibility you could upload this to something other than Rapidshare (Mediafire, or Sendspace, Yousendit etc)? Rapidshare always tells me there are no slots available.

    Is there any chance you could drop Rapidshare? Why the hell do people even use rapidshare anymore? It's utter trash.

    I don't have all day to sit here messing with rapidshare. I'll check back in a few days to see if you've changed hosts. :(

    I have let the band know of this download, and I hope they come at you with Layers; you deserve nothing less. You are destroying the chances of this ever becoming an official release.

    Fuck off Darkman. You're just pissed you don't have the 'exclusive'. Let's be honest here. This track sucks. The music and lyrics are terrible, the sound quality is shit. It was a demo and never developed for a reason. It's absolutely the worst song i've ever heard by Joy Division by a wide margin.

    I think "You're No Good For Me" is a lot worse, to be fair.

    Do you seriously think this would get officially released, Darkman? It's a very interesting curio for obsessive fans to hear but beyond that I'd be very sceptical of anybody deeming it to be of any commercial value. It's a fairly rough recording of a very early rehearsal demo, the band would be accused of fleecing their fans if they tried to cash in on it.

    If you know how to use Rapidshare properly, then you will have no issues downloading. Mediafire has been known to corrupt zips so I moved over to a more secure archiver.

    As for DarkTwat ....get the fuck off my blog loser!

    Darkman, you are deluded, just download it then you will really have something! Who would want to release this? It's for completist's only. Not too bad, as someone said above, better than the early Warsaw demos, sounds like they are attempting to leap forward.

    A fairly good track, but no way to release it as the quality is very poor.

    Thanx for this...
    @the Darkman (???)
    You guys may also be interested that Rapidshare just announced that they are upgrading servers etc, which hopefully will make it easier to download if you don't have an account.

    Thanks a lot for this Blogmeister, but DarkTwat could be right - I hear Simon Cowell is interested in putting this out as a single for next Christmas!!! Also why do so many people complain about Rapidshare - if you download in the morning while the USA is still asleep it takes no time at all!

    Incredible! Speaking as a long term fan, unreleased Jot Division tracks were the last thing I was expecting to find on a blog, many thanks for sharing...

    Can you also please put up the entire rehearsal? I'd be very grateful to have that and anything else too. Maybe you already have and I haven't seen it. I can't praise you enough for it. It's so excellent to have this amazing recording. I had no idea at all that this music existed. I had always thought that there were no rehearsals recorded. To actually have additional tunes means the world. I think that people ought not to confuse a rehearsal with a release or live recording - it's new ideas and additional material for die hard fans who already know the main releases and who are passionate about the band. It's truly great to finally be able to listen to the rehearsals. I've been wanting this for ages.Thank-you. Ian (NZ)

    Since megaupload is now out of commission, can someone upload this to another site?
